Akame x Kurome - For the First Time
"Bols and Kurome are our targets," Najenda boomed for her position at the head of the table, her faithful Susanoo standing behind her chair to her left.
Sitting at the table were Night Raid's remaining members, after successfully defeating Dr. Stylish with no casualties, things were sorta looking up. Well, not really, but for the sake of a happy story, let's pretend things are looking up. Akame sat at Najenda's immediate right while across from her was Lubbock. Tatsumi and Leone had joined Akame on her side of the table, while Chelsea and Mein sat on Lubbock's side.
Upon hearing who their targets were, the members of Night Raid unconsciously sat up a bit straighter, Najenda turned her head to Akame her single purple eye narrowing slightly, "Are you able to complete the task ahead?"
The person in question considered her boss' words for a moment before nodding and in an empty voice declaring Night Raid had her loyalties above Kurome. Najenda smiled looking quite pleased with this answer and dismissed her subordinates who left to their rooms to prepare for the upcoming battle royale.
"Hey, Akame?" Tatsumi called through the wooden door after he knocked.
"What Tatsumi?" Akame asked as she opened the door.
Tatsumi had never seen the inside of Akame's room, and was surprised to see it cluttered. He looked over at her bed side table and saw the simple candle holder but also saw several framed pictures. She didn't have the candles lit, so he wasn't sure what the pictures depicted. On her desk were pieces of wood in strange shapes as well a half built building.
"So uh," He scratched the back of his head, "How.. how are you?"
"Fine," Was the flat reply before she turned to close the door on Tatsumi, but Tatsumi quickly shoved a foot in before she could.
"Wait," He said pressing his hand to the door to try to keep it open, it was after all, undignified to have a conversation through a door, "When I was kidnapped by Esdeath, I met your sister. I.. I want to know what happened."
Akame's red eyes flashed in anger, "It's none of your business." She quickly pushed him out of the partially opened door and slammed it.
"It is my business!" Tatsumi shouted through the door, "I'm your friend, your comrade! How are you supposed to move on if you're still stuck in the past?!"
"Who said I wanted to move on?" Akame whispered as she opened the door a crack. Before shutting it quietly and turned against the door and slid down to the floor. She rested her head on the door and closed her eyes.
"What's wrong with moving on?" Tatsumi said softly on the other side of the door, still refusing to leave.
Several images flash through Akame's head. Their first mission together, Natala's death, the first kiss, the note, the betrayal, the ball. "I can't move on Tatsumi," Her voice cracked, "Particularly since Kurome can't either."
Late update. I know. I'm sorry. I will get some threesomes in. I've also got a Mein x Tatsumi one planned for the holidays. Thoughts?
